not going to start a new thread. this is close to my question.

-i have a vibrant for tmobile.

-rooted.

-phone has to be 2 months old, hardly used. still had stickers on camera.

my question

-if i use the unroot technique posted earlier, will i have any problems with tmobile and unroot? show any signs?

-does any one have tmobile thats done an exchange under warranty with a rooted/unrooted vibrant??

-i have a dent on the chrome frame around the screen, nothing else...will this effect the warranty?

that dent pissed me off, ive been USING the phone for like 5 days? i havent been on this forum long.

so i wanna use a warranty exchange, say my mms or something is acting silly, and get a new one.

let me know.

[Vibrant General] DanRo80:
This worked great for me. Thank You so much. My puter wouldn't recognize my phone to do it the other ways. But as I was doing it I was really uncertain if it was working or if I was doing it correctly because it doesn't really let you know as you perform the commands.
[Vibrant General] dweebit22:
I'm a little new to the rooting, so excuse me if I sound ingnorant. I rooted my boyfriend's vibrant to the Nero 3 and need to exchange it. I have no idea what you guys are referring to when you say to open the android terminal. I tried going to Locale and Text but couldn't find it there. I've tried using the one-click root to un-root and it's not working. Even going through the system recovery and anytime I try to install something, it simply reboots to Nero 3 again. Ill be surprised it I haven't gotten a restocking fee yet for not returning this device, any suggestions?

fyi - when I try to do the one-click unroot it says to select "reinstall packages," but I don't get that option.

Hey guys, I have no idea what's causing this but whenever I record a video, any format, after awhile, it randomly stops recording. sometimes its 30 seconds, sometimes a couple minutes. I have 41 hours of freespace on my microsd and tried multiple formats. Settings are all on unlimited
[HD2 General] bugsykoosh:
i get slowdowns when an email comes in. I thin the 'stops' (that I've gotten as well) are the result of cheap-ass SD cards that they gave us for free. I bet if you try a high end SD card it won't happen.

[Droid X Android Development] erronr:
I tried it, and it will not flash through rsd lite 4.6. You need a newer version. For me, running 5.2, it would load up, read phone, try to load sbf and then it would lock the phone. No charging, no power button, nothing. I had to pull the batt for about a min to get it to work.

And the file is based off of the bootloader from the pre-release sbf which is why it's an older version. I will update as we try new things. I have couple X's at my disposal to wreck.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werxen:
So I am fairly new to this whole linux/android thing. I got my Evo a while back and I really want to use some of the apps and custom roms posted here. I did the OTA update and found out that I can only root using the new flash exploit so I went ahead and did some research and found OTA simple root that got root axx using the flash exploit. I followed the steps to a T but was unsuccessful after various attempts. I installed HTC sync as well as the new DotNet framework. I complete all the steps successfully and get the to the point of the skating androids but after using a few apps they all claims they cannot access root. I'm really confused as to what is going on. I'm not a computer noob - I have worked at IT for a few years and know my way around windows and computer software/hardware in general.

Right now my phone information goes as follows:

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Basband version: 1.36.00.04.02

Kernal version: 2.6.29-ac94cf60

If there is anymore information I need to post go ahead and let me know. I just can't seem to access root and I followed all of the items listed on the program and followed the video on the website - though there were no words just techno music and a visual guide. Let me know if anyone knows whatsup :\ I don't get any errors or anything so I am confused as to what I should do.

There is 1 weird thing that happens, however. At the beginning, the first prompt that transfers all the files shows 0 bytes transferring and shows the amount in the speeds - I doubt this is anything weird because it eventually DOES transfer but I figured I would throw that out there. Infinite props and possible unique torrent privileges to anyone who helps me :rolleyes:

Does anyone know about a code that Sprint people use to get to some settings on the phone? I watched them use this code to get to a long list of settings a few times as they were working to port my old number over to the phone.

I actually managed to get the code...but no I have no recollection of where they entered it. It is not that #*#* thing. This is just six numbers.

Anyone heard of this...or what it supposedly gives you access to? They had the phone facing them and I couldn't really read it from where I was.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
It's called an MSL code. I think that's what you're looking for. You can often call CS and they'll give it to you, or you can use CDMA Explorer (I think that's the program, there is a thread about it here somewhere). Then you dial ##xxxxxx# where xxxxxx is your code.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Yes, that is your MSL. Either call or email Sprint for it or use CDMA Workshop.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbailey1986:
It's *#*#3282#*#* its basically for setup purposes, but you can change your radio and stuff some who experience high battery drain was told to into it and make sure it was set to cdma radio only, some were set to gsm radio! Weird to be on gsm radio on a sprint phone but it was...

And yes, CDMA Workshop. That's the one. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Yeah the number they wrote down was just six digits. Reading that other thread it is a password of some kind...but the #*# number are different.

It's like some of those # numbers just take you to options...others prompt for a password. That is where I used the code and got in. Interesting. The other thread doesn't actually say anything about how the two numbers tie together. (And I could have it all wrong...:) )

##3282# will get you into the EPST menu. UNder that is data profile, EVDO, Advanced, WiMAX, and USB charging. There are other ## numbers to get into diff menus as well. You need the MSL in order to edit anythign under these.

Am I speaking a foreign language here?

In the setting (phone>##3282#) there is an option to check USB Charging. Does anyone know what this option does.

I have my MSL, I have had it since day one, I am curious about this one particular option which seems to change nothing and which seems to have no documentation on it.

I dont know for sure, I have not documentation of it because I cant remember the number to dial. Neither of the numbers listed in the thread are correct. But I would assume that it has to do with charging via USB. Stock USB charging is enabled. If you checked it in these settings I would bet USB charging would be disabled.

TheftAlarm

Version: 1.8(Last free: 1.7)

Last update: 06.03.2011

Interface languages: English, Russian

Description:

The program is designed to help you to find phone if it is stolen or lost.

This works like this:

In the program settings you add allowed SIM card and phone numbers to send SMS messages.

After the boot program reads the IMSI number of the current SIM card.

If the IMSI is in a list of allowed, it displays a notification that the SIM is checked and the program ends.

If the current IMSI is not in the list of allowed, then program send an SMS messages to configured in the settings telephone numbers.

If for some reason the message is not sent (there is no network signal, enabled airplane mode, etc.), the program attempts to send it again after 10 seconds and it will be repeated before the SMS is not sent.

Thus in case of missing device can learn the phone number, which is using your phone.

Among other programs TheftAlarm distinguished by the fact that it is simple, does not have any (possibly unnecessary) functions.

ChangeLog:

From the version 1.8 program named TheftAlarm Pro and available for 1$.

Buy and download TheftAlarm Pro from Android Market

It reads out the the ID of your SIM-Card and checks that against the instlled one so far.

My HTC Desire is configured to use HSPA (so WCDMA) only and it still shows and uses the correct IMSI.

Edit

@author: Do you mind adding a (a)gps support (or is it already added?), so it also sends the location of the phone? And maybe a response to a caller who sends an sms with location etc (received msg has to be hidden of course) with a special key-word?

CDMA

Does this work for CDMA phones? I entered my number, but since not all CDMA phones use SIM cards, it doesn't register anything for SIM. I tried searching for an IMSI number for the HTC hero for Sprint, I found nothing. I only find IMEI for it, I tried to write that alpha numeric digits down.... only problem is, I can't type in the letters. Am I doing something wrong?
